Oh, I agree that kids love playing outside. When I worked in a nursery, the kids always wanted to play outside. I actually blame adults more for the tendency of kids not to play outside much anymore. We're too afraid to let them play outside on their own while we're busy inside because they might disappear. We don't want them to climb trees 'cause they might fall. We don't want them to play with bugs or frogs or whatever 'cause they're dirty. Achenbach said "Go play outside but watch out for serial killers." But I think it's the adults, not the kids, whose worry makes playing outside un-fun.
